Renewed Day by Day

What do you do when you get that call, some tragedy or unexpected illness, that changes your life for ever? You may momentarily loose yourself, but then you realize God is in control! Your creator has you in the palm of His hand. For some of us, our loosing ourselves may be more than a moment! But God will bring us back to His peace. We all seem to forget that we start our dying the minute we are born. Not just other people, but all of us! We are jars of clay, made by the creator of the universe. When I read God's word and see the things He has made, I am overwhelmed by His majesty! The intricate workings He has woven into this thing we call a body but he calls a temple. 2 Cor.4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Lord, I am a little scared of death, but I am more scared of people not knowing You. I am scared of people not being told the truth from the pulpit and just excepting it as truth when it sometimes is not. Lord, pour out Your unquenchable thirst for Your word on people. Let them know Your word and keep it in their heart. Lord, thank You for my pastor, who tells the truth of Your word, bless him and use him to teach us Your magnificent truth. Amen
